Aaron's Blog

Archive for the ‘Christmas’ Category

Recently we went to Trago Mills and went on the North Pole Express to go and see Father Christmas.  This was the first time Ben and Aaron had see Father Christmas so they were both excited (moreso Ben as he knew what it was all about!).  Aaron was probably excited because he could see Ben getting very excited!

When we arrived at the ‘North Pole’ there was an Elf there to great us and Father Christmas was there to talk to all the children.  Aaron didn’t go up to the front with everyone else, but stayed being held by Kelly.  He did go and get a present from him though which turned out to be a hand puppet Duck, which Aaron liked!  We couldn’t get a photo of Aaron with Father Christmas as he wouldn’t let go of Kelly! 😉 But he seemed to enjoy his first visit to see Father Christmas.

Aaron had a great first Christmas with lots of presents from friends, family and Father Christmas!

The boys both had a small present on Christmas Eve which was some Christmas pyjamas to wear to bed which made them look very cute, especially Aaron.

Typically, Aaron and Ben decided to sleep on Christmas morning so I had to go in and wake Ben (at which point Aaron woke as well) to get them up.  Aaron seemed to enjoy opening his presents, although he was sometimes more interested in the wrapping paper! He got a good selection of clothes, toys and some little chocolates so thank you to everyone who gave him something!  As he was a good 7 months old, he was aware of what was going on, so he knew exactly what was happening!

He had his morning nap as normal (he was exhausted after all the excitement) and then ate all of his mushed up Roast Turkey.  He even had some grapefruit for starters and attempted to pull a cracker! The rest of the day he played with his new toys which included a lion ball bashing game and an electronic learning ball, whilst stopping for a nap at mid-afternoon.

He had a great 1st Christmas and enjoyed it all!
